Escaping Fate's Abyss

”They tried to ruin your life.But instead of destroying you,they gave you the greatest gift of them all.”
DEAN HELMSLEY WAS GIFTED WITH A RARE SPORTING TALENT.
BUT HE WAS ALSO CURSED WITH A RARE DISEASE THAT HAD LEFT HIM BADLY DEFORMED AND REJECTED BY HIS OWN FAMILY.
SARAH GOULD WAS GIFTED WITH A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG DAUGHTER BY THE NAME OF KAITLYN.
BUT SHE WAS ALSO CURSED WITH AN INABILITY TO DEAL WITH THE HORRIFYING EVENTS THAT HAD RESULTED IN HER DAUGHTER’S CONCEPTION.
KAITLYN WAS GIFTED WITH INNOCENCE.
BUT SHE WAS ALSO CURSED WITH A MOTHER UNABLE TO SHOW HER ANY AFFECTION.
WHEN AN UNLIKELY FRIENDSHIP DEVELOPS BETWEEN DEAN AND KAITLYN,THE YOUNG MAN FINDS HIMSELF THROWN HEAD-FIRST INTO THE TROUBLED WORLD OF SARAH GOULD AND ALL OF HER ISSUES AS THEY THREATEN TO DESTROY BOTH HERSELF AND HER DAUGHTER.
BUT DEAN HAS HIS OWN PROBLEMS TO DEAL WITH;ESPECIALLY WHEN A HEROIC DEED IS REWARDED WITH A HEARTBREAKING DILEMNA.....

DEAN HELMSLEY IS A HERO THAT THE WORLD BELIEVES TO BE DECEASED.
BUT INSTEAD OF THE AFTERLIFE,THE TWENTYSOMETHING MAN HAS UNDERGONE EXPERIMENTAL SURGERY AND BEEN GIVEN A NEW FACE ALONG WITH A NEW IDENTITY.
EVEN THOUGH HE HAS MOVED FROM BOSTON TO ST. LOUIS TO START A NEW LIFE,THE SCARS OF DEAN’S PAST STILL PLAGUE HIM ON A DAILY BASIS.
THIS IS BECAUSE DEAN-APART FROM INHERITING A ONCE IN A LIFETIME SPORTING TALENT-WAS BORN WITH A RARE FACIAL DEFECT THAT HAD LEAD TO HIM BEING SHUNNED BY HIS OWN FAMILY;WHILST THE LESS SYMPATHETIC PEOPLE OUT THERE HAD BELITTLED AND HUMILIATED THE YOUNG MAN SINCE THE COMMENCEMENT OF HIS SCHOOLING YEARS.
AS HE REAQUAINTS HIMSELF WITH A WORLD THAT HAD ONLY EVER TREATED HIM LIKE DIRT,DEAN’S ONLY MISSION IN LIFE IS TO DEFEAT A CHALLENGE THAT HIS HEARTLESS FATHER HAS CREATED.
THEN HE MEETS A 4 YEAR OLD GIRL BY THE NAME OF KAITLYN GOULD.
DEAN SOON LEARNS THAT KAITLYN IS THE PRODUCT OF A GANG-RAPE THAT HAD BEEN INFLICTED UPON HER MOTHER SARAH.
HER MIND ALL BUT SHATTERED AFTER BEING KIDNAPPED AND ASSAULTED FOR THE BETTER PART OF A MONTH,ALL THAT SARAH GOULD CAN SEE IN HER DAUGHTER IS AN HORRIFIC MEMORY.AS A RESULT, THE TROUBLED WOMAN FIGHTS A LOSING BATTLE TO PHYSICALLY DISPLAY THE LOVE THAT SHE FEELS FOR HER OFFSPRING.

AS AN UNLIKELY FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN THE NEGLECTED CHILD AND DEAN BEGINS TO BLOSSOM INTO A FATHER AND DAUGHTER TYPE OF BOND,THE YOUNG MAN FINDS HIMSELF THRUST HEADFIRST INTO THE MIDDLE OF SARAH’S INTERNAL STRUGGLES.
WHAT DEAN DOES NOT COUNT ON FEELING IS ANYTHING BUT SYMPATHY FOR SARAH AS HE ATTEMPTS TO BRING MOTHER AND DAUGHTER CLOSER TOGETHER.YET THROUGHOUT THE SCREAMING FITS,THE VIOLENCE AND GENERAL UNPLEASANTNESS DIRECTED TOWARDS HIM BY THE MAN-HATING SARAH,DEAN HELMSLEY FINDS HIMSELF FALLING FOR THE YOUNG MOTHER.
LITTLE DOES DEAN KNOW THAT SARAH IS ALSO STARTING TO FEEL SOMETHING FOR HIM IN SPITE OF HER BELIEF THAT ALL MEN ARE SCUM.
MEANWHILE,KAITLYN IS DESPERATELY HOPING THAT HER MOTHER AND DEAN WILL GET TOGETHER SO THAT THE LITTLE GIRL CAN FINALLY HAVE THE FAMILY THAT SHE HAS ALWAYS WANTED.
UNFORTUNATELY,DUE TO A NASTY SIDE EFFECT OF HIS EXPERIMENTAL SURGERY,THE BEST THING THAT DEAN CAN DO FOR SARAH AND KAITLYN IS JUST WALK AWAY...
BUT HOW DO YOU SAY GOODBYE TO THE WOMAN YOU ARE FALLING IN LOVE WITH?
AND HOW DO YOU BREAK THE HEART OF A CHILD THAT YOU LOVE MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF?
THIS IS A TALE OF LOVE,REVENGE AND FORGIVENESS;AS TOLD THROUGH THE EYES OF 2 DAMAGED PEOPLE AND AN INNOCENT YOUNG GIRL LOOKING FOR HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
